I don’t know why these guys think what they’ve done isn’t good enough to sell firearms. This one came to us from a reader of Blackfive who sent the story of a guy he met at a gun show;<\/p>\n

He was decked out in multicam, with an “infidel” and “sniper” tab, he also had a SEAL gold Trident pin on his tactical ball cap, his booth besides selling firearms offered tactical firearms training, and sniper training. …he claims “many years in special operations” but offers no unit or service records and only one grainy pic with no name tap or unit patches.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we find out the guy’s name is Darrel Tracht, and here’s his “about” page on his website;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Many years in Special Operations, yup. We also found this picture of him;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Now a SEAL Trident between an Army CIB and jump wings would probably set off bells with anyone with more than a minute on active duty. I know what he’s going to say when he gets confronted “I’m only wearing the Trident” to honor SEALs – well, that’s pretty hollow when he earned jump wings and a CIB. Here’s his FOIA;<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

His actual awards;<\/p>\n

Nothing there to be ashamed of. His assignments to “special operations” units;<\/p>\n

I don’t see anything to be ashamed of in those records, so I have no idea why Tracht felt the need to embellish and wear stuff that didn’t earn. That’s not the kind of stuff that inspires customers’ confidence in a businessman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
